|Financing Your Business
|| Print |
To start your business you must purchase licenses, pay for permits, engage professional services (e.g. legal, accounting, insurance etc.), do leasehold improvements, buy furniture, fixtures and equipment etc. You may require initial retail inventory, an opening stock of repair parts, accessories or office supplies such as business cards, letterhead, envelopes, staples etc. Once you start operating, you must replenish these retail or parts stocks and pay the day-to-day wages of your employees (i.e. working capital requirements). There are financial strategies to satisfy these needs and to approach the various sources of this financing (i.e. lenders & investors).
Money that finances business is called capital. Bank loans approved for day-to-day business operations (working capital) have characteristics that make them differentfrom those approved for equipment purchases (long term capital or capital assets). A bank loan officer can often assist you in finding a workable combination of these different types of capital. Using loans approved for purposes other than those for which they were approved is considered an abuse of your loan privilege.
Not All Money Is the Same
There are two types of financing: equity and debt financing. When looking for money, you must consider your company's debt-to-equity ratio - the relation between dollars you've borrowed and dollars you've invested in your business. The more money owners have invested in their business, the easier it is to attract financing. If your firm has a high ratio of equity to debt, you should probably seek debt financing. However, if your company has a high proportion of debt to equity, experts advise that you should increase your ownership capital (equity investment) for additional funds. That way you won't be over-leveraged to the point of jeopardizing your company's survival.
Equity funds come from personal moneys of the partners (such as savings, inheritance or personal borrowings from financial institutions, friends, relatives and business associates) and from stockholders of the shares in a corporation. These funds are normally unsecured and have no registered claim on any of the assets of the business, freeing those up to be used as collateral for the loans (debt financing). Higher equity creates " increased leverage." Leverage reflects the business ability to attract other loans and investment. An equity position of $30,000 may enable the business to obtain debt financing of up to three times that amount, $90,000. A fully-leveraged business has no further ability to borrow money.
Equity Financing
Most small or growth-stage businesses use limited equity financing. As with debt financing, additional equity often comes from non-professional investors such as friends, relatives, employees, customers, or industry colleagues. However, the most common source of professional equity funding comes from venture capitalists. These are institutional risk takers and may be groups of wealthy individuals, government-assisted sources, or major financial institutions. Most specialize in one or a few closely related industries.
Venture capitalists are often seen as deep-pocketed financial gurus looking for start-ups in which to invest their money, but they most often prefer three-to-five-year old companies with the potential to become major regional or national concerns and return higher-than-average profits to their shareholders. Venture capitalists may scrutinize thousands of potential investments annually, but only invest in a handful. The possibility of a public stock offering is critical to venture capitalists. Quality management, a competitive or innovative advantage, and industry growth are also major concerns.
Different venture capitalists have different approaches to management of the business in which they invest. They generally prefer to influence a business passively, but will react when a business does not perform as expected and may insist on changes in management or strategy. Relinquishing some of the decision-making and some of the potential for profits are the main disadvantages of equity financing.
Debt Financing
There are many sources for debt financing: banks, savings and loans, and commercial finance companies, are the most common. State governments have developed programs in recent years to encourage the growth of small businesses in recognition of their positive effects on the economy. Family members, friends, and former associates are all potential sources, especially when capital requirements are smaller.
Traditionally, banks have been the major source of small business funding. Their principal role has been as a short-term lender offering demand loans, seasonal lines of credit, and single-purpose loans for machinery and equipment. Banks generally have been reluctant to offer long-term loans to small firms. The JBDC assessment program encourages banks and non-bank lenders to make long-term loans to small firms by reducing their risk and leveraging the funds they have available. The JBDC's program has been an integral part of the success stories of many of firms nationally.
In addition to equity considerations, lenders commonly require the borrower's personal guarantees in case of default. This ensures that the borrower has a sufficient personal interest at stake to give paramount attention to the business. For most borrowers this is a burden, but also a necessity.
Long Term Debt
"Term" refers to the time for which money (a secured loan) is required and the period over which the loan repayment is scheduled. A long term loan is arranged when the scheduled repayment of the loan and the estimated useful life of the assets purchased (e.g. building, land, machinery, computers, equipment, shelving, etc.) is expected to exceed one year.
Short Term Debt
Short term loans usually take the form of operating term loans (less than one year) and revolving lines of credit. These finance the day-to-day operations of the business, including wages of employees and purchases of inventory and supplies.

Analysis Finds Streets Unsafe for Older Adults, New York Responds
Older pedestrians in the NY/NJ/CT Metro have a significantly higher risk of being killed than their younger counterparts, according to a new analysis from the Tri-State Transportation Campaign. People who are 65 or older make up 12% of the region's population but account for 27% of the total pedestrian fatalities. These fatality rates are more than three times the rate for those under 65 and higher than that of older adults living elsewhere in the country. This data, representing both suburban and urban communities, verifies how imperative it is to create safe and livable streets for all users of any age. The New York State DOT and Governor Paterson have already responded to the analysis, launching the SafeSeniors program, modeled after a NYC's Safe Streets for Seniors.

As the Congress turns its attention to the US budget and the nation's fiscal situation, the debates over the debt ceiling that have been seething underneath the surface could boil in the near future. The US Treasury is of the opinion that the nation will reach its debt limit within April, 15, 2011 and the Administration officials are ringing the caution bells and warning the US debtors of the dire financial consequences if the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling is not raised. But the Republicans say that they won't commit themselves to such a financial move unless the President Barack Obama takes some solid steps to weigh down the country's pocketbook. Raising the debt ceiling will not mean an opportunity to spend more. Rather there has to be effective cuts on the spending floor to get better results.
The Americans have soon started thinking the unthinkable. The major concern of their lives is to eliminate their debt burden and contribute the prosperity of the nation. With all the political talk hovering around the surging national debt and the deficit in the US, it's time to scour up some effective debt solutions that can help you deal with your credit card blues. Check out some such debt solutions available in the US market.
1. Non-profit credit counseling services: The American Consumer Credit Counseling (ACCC) will provide a debtor with non-profit debt counseling and financial education services. The certified and professionally trained debt counselors assist the struggling consumers by offering them workable solutions to their multiple debt issues. They will analyze your present financial condition, provide customized options based on your future financial goals and recommend money management techniques.
2. Debt management programs: Debt management programs will help you simplify your monthly unsecured obligations and get debt free in an easy and affordable way. Unsecured debts may include credit cards, department store cards, unsecured personal loans and other lines of credit. Once you're enrolled into a DMP, you can stick to making single monthly payments to the debt consultant. This amount will be disbursed off to your creditors in due time.
3. Debt settlement programs: The debt settlement consultants will offer you debt settlement programs for consumers who are overburdened with massive debt amount and are finding it impossible to repay the entire amount. Creditors will agree to a negotiable amount, which is much less than the actual amount owed by the debtor. Creditors agree to such arbitrations as they feel that some money is better than no money in case the debtor files bankruptcy. Though it has a negative impact on your credit score, you can go for immediate credit repair after settling your debts.
Almost everyone agrees that America is a nation of spenders and most spenders love to hate a budget. This is the reason for the brewing debt disaster in the US and if you want to overcome and survive in such tough financial circumstances, get help from the companies that provides you with simple and effective debt solutions.

National chain rustles up rib eyes, T-bones and fillets in a kid-friendly, Lone Star-inspired setting. – In Short
One of the country's most successful steakhouse empires attracts a casual crowd with huge, reasonably priced steak dinners and a tempered Texan milieu (country music and imposing cattle busts). Wise diners turn off their internal calorie counters, as many menu items arrive fried, covered in cheese, or both. A typically rich meal starts with cheese fries, followed by a blue cheese-crusted fillet. Fried cheesecake ends the night on a note of Texas-sized decadence.
Greatest economy steakhouse in town, fast and friendly customer service – I go there about once a week. The steaks are tender and tasty. Afternoons you get fresh bread and evenings you a salad is also included. I always try to eat at the bar because the service is even faster and the conversation with other customers is great.

Reading is as necessary to my life as air and water. I read lots of different genres, but one that's captivated me the last several years, in part because of the genealogical research I've been doing, is history, American history in particular. I read history in order to understand humanity and the way we humans have organized ourselves, intentionally or not, into tribes, states, nations, even neighborhoods.
I also read to try to understand the lives, the circumstances, and the motivations of my ancestors. As Samhain approaches I reflect upon the lives of some of my ancestors. For instance, my maternal grandfather's grandfather, William H. Van Tine, (pictured here) served in the Pennsylvania 58th Infantry and was killed in April 1863 in a battle in New Bern, NC, so I've been reading some Civil War history. Another ancestor, my grandmother's grandfather, The Rev. Alpha Gilruth Kynett, was, among other things, a founder of the Anti-Saloon League. His brother Harry, a medical doctor, served on the U.S. Sanitary Commission in the state of Iowa. The Sanitary Commission was a private relief organization created during the Civil War to care for sick and wounded soldiers, the precursor to the Veterans' Administration.1

LG G2Compare9.4 reviewThe LG G2 is a high-end Android smartphone - an embodiment of cutting-edge hardware and precision-polished software, sprinkled with a handful of innovative goodies all over. It comes with top-of-the-line specifications, including a 5.2-inch, 1080p display made using IPS LCD technology, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 chip running at 2.3GHz, and 2GB of RAM. In terms of performance, the device should rank among the best handsets to date. Further down the list we have an advanced 13MP camera that stands out with cool features like optical image stabilization and 1080p video capturing at 60 frames per second. A notable multimedia feature is the support for 24-bit, 192kHz audio. The design of the LG G2 is quite unusual for its volume and power buttons are placed on the back. Its thickness of 9 millimeters is acceptable considering that inside the phone you'll find a 3000mAh removable battery. 32GB of on-board storage are present, expandable further through the use of a microSD card (in some markets).+ View Specs
Apple iPhone 5sCompare9.3 reviewThe iPhone 5s is not a radical departure in design for Apple, save for one very important feature. No, we don't mean the new Space Gray and Gold colors. We have in mind the home button that has been on iPhones from day one, is now turned into a fingerprint scanner dubbed Touch ID. It lets you unlock the phone and authorize purchases, safely storing your fingerprints in the A7 processor itself, out of the reach for anyone but a few default iOS 7 apps. This A7 processor debuts on the iPhone 5s as the first 64-bit mobile chipset in use on a commercial device, utilized by the latest flat and minimalistic iOS 7 that has been rewritten to take advantage of the 64-bit system. It sports a dedicated M7 co-processor for always-on motion sensing, too. The iSight camera stayed 8 MP, but is much improved, with larger pixels, wider aperture, and the ability to shoot slow motion videos, not to mention the dual two-tone LED flash on the back that strives for natural skin color representation.+ View Specs

Apple iPad AirCompare9.2 reviewThe iPad Air is Apple's fifth generation full-sized iPad tablet, and the name is definitelly fitting for this remarkable device. It is only 7.5 millimeters thin and weighs just 469 grams, making it the lightest slate of this size. Its screen is identical to the one we know from its predecessor - a 9.7-inch Retina Display with oleophobic coating and resolution of 1536 by 2048 pixels. Under the hood, Apple has chosen to install its A7 chip, which is the very same 64-bit SoC powering the iPhone 5s. As a result, the new iPad is two times faster than the previous model. With the 5MP iSight camera, one can take detailed photos and 1080p Full HD videos, while the FaceTime HD front-facing snapper is ideal for video chats and self portraits. Connecting to the internet is done either via Wi-Fi, or over a 4G LTE network, should you choose a cellular-enabled iPad Air model. Apple's iOS 7 operating system is loaded onto the tablet, with iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps included at no cost.+ View Specs

The heart beat sensor, for instance, is unique for the Galaxy S5, while something like the Finger Scanner can also be observed on the iPhone 5s, but in a rather different implementation. Samsung also introduced two new launch colors, including Copper Gold, and a brand new perforated design for the rear cover. The addition of Snapdragon 801 chipset brings on LTE-A download speeds, and 4K video recording, to an already superb handset.+ View Specs

Sony Xperia Z2 TabletCompare9 reviewThe Xperia Tablet Z is still one of the most highly coveted Android tablets in its class. It is only natural to have high expectations about its successor. Then again, the Xperia Tablet Z was so complete that it didn't leave that much room for improvement over a year. This isn't to say it didn't have any weak spots. For example, the Xpera Tablet Z2's 10.1-inch display has been reworked for the better. It offers better color reproduction and viewing angles compared to the Xperia Tablet Z1. Colors retain their consistency and distortion has been eliminated. On top of that, the Xpera Tablet Z2 manages to shave off some weight and thickness, while growing some additional muscle with Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 801 CPU and 3GB of RAM. Everything else is largely the same. The design, the 6000mAh battery and the 2.2MP front/8MP rear cameras have all been preserved from last year. Although not innovative, the Xperia Tablet Z2 is durable, slick, and a great high-end slate overall.+ View Specs

LG G Pro 2Compare9 reviewThe LG G Pro 2 is, more or less, the LG G2's larger "cousin". As such, it has adopted the unorthodox placement of the power and volume keys. Buttons aside, the LG G Pro 2 is a plastic-made device with a solid, reassuring feel. The LG G Pro 2 is wield-able, but operating it with a single hand is rather difficult. It is equipped with a gorgeous 1080p IPS panel. It ships with the latest version of Android – 4.4 KitKat. It has the new KnockCode feature, which allows one to set their own tapping pattern for unlocking the device. Another celebrated by PhoneArena feature is the IR blaster, which allows you to take control of your TV, air conditioner, DVD player, and more. A 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, and 3 gigs of RAM keeps the G Pro 2 running and gunning. The internal storage is 32GB. The LG G Pro 2's 13-megapixel camera now touts LG's improved OIS+ technology, 4K resolution video, slow-motion recording, Natural Flash, Magic Focus, and more. Ultimately, the LG G Pro 2 is a great device.+ View Specs

Thursday's action saw over half the league in action, with 16 teams in play. Of the multiple matchups, three thrived with success while a quarter of a dozen quietly quivered away. Here are the Studs and Duds for March 22, 2012:
3) Oh Brother
With Daniel Sedin sidelined with a concussion, there were many wondering how the Canucks would fare without their star winger. While their powerplay was quite bad and the offence wasn't there, Vancouver was quite competent without Daniel, winning 2-1 in a back-to-back game against the Dallas Stars. Cory Schneider played very well, and Daniel's counterpart Henrik notched 2 assists. While they did win today, having Sedin out for the playoffs would be a rough blow. However, games like this show they could technically survive if without him for a game or two in the postseason.
2) Goaltender's Duel
When people think of a goaltender's duel, they often think of a low shot affair with few scoring chances. On Thursday, the Los Angeles Kings and the St. Louis Blues engaged themselves in one of the most entertaining games of the year, and not a single goal was scored. Brian Elliott and Jonathan Quick were stellar, and without their efforts the score would have been 6-5, if not even greater. Elliott made 37 saves and Quick added 35 to stop countless skaters from lighting the lamp. With this matchup being a potential playoff series, games like these have to make many excited that this will be a possibility.
1) The Real Deal, Not Just James Neal
Since the beginning of October, the search for the Stanley Cup favourite was on. For the past half-year, many teams have seen themselves as the perennial choice to win hockey's top prize. The year started with the Canucks on top, and quickly switched to the Bruins until their subpar play. Following them, the Detroit Red Wings and their unprecedented home winning streak reigned supreme, and injuries saw them lose that title to the conference leaders: the Rangers and the Blues. However, last week saw the return of a dynasty. With Sidney Crosby and Kris Letang returning, there was no denying that the Pittsburgh Penguins (when healthy) had a chance to beat any club in the league. After a stretch that saw them go 3-0-1, the Pens had a matchup with the contending Predators, and made them seem like they were a bottom-feeder AHL team.
Evgeni Malkin scored 2 goals, Fleury ended up saving 29 of 30, and James Neal notched 4 assists to lead the Penguins to a decisive 5-1 victory over the Nashville Predators. In their past 5 games, Pittsburgh has outscored their opponents 25-12, allowing 4 goals when their 3rd string netminder was in goal. The team has won 13 of their last 14 games, picking up 27 of a possible 28 points. There's no denying that this team is currently unstoppable and Thursday further re-itterated this point.
3) His Return made them Radul-off
The chronicles of Alexander Radulov have been the talk of the hockey world for quite some time. The talented sophomore had made serious strides with the Nashville Predators in 2008, hitting 26 goals. However, Radulov bolted to the KHL, and his future plans of returning to North America looked hazy. However, this all turned the corner last week, when his team was eliminated from the KHL playoffs. Now, Radulov had turned into the star of Russian hockey, posting great numbers and making dazzling plays. However, he finally decided it was time to return to Nashville, and help the team win the Stanley Cup. On paper, the Predators had received the only piece missing from their arsenal of weapons, which was a sniper. It looked like the Predators would contend no matter the opponent, and would start the new Radulov-era by defeating the powerful Pittsburgh Penguins. Things did not start according to plan.
The Predators came out flat, losing quite easily to the Pens 5-1. Pekka Rinne allowed 5 goals on 23 shots and the offense could not make up for lack of goaltending. Radulov did record his first goal in his first game back, but was also on the ice for 3 of the Penguins goals. However, he did backcheck and play a solid game, but his team did not as well. This is clearly a slight bump in the road, but it shows that the Predators do need a little bit more practice with their new star before taking on the big dogs of the National Hockey League.
2) Coming Out Flat
On Monday, the Boston Bruins came out strong and manhandled the Toronto Maple Leafs 8-0. After a controversial White House visit and the following sub-500 play, the huge win was considered to be a turning point, considering the team had also beaten the very strong Flyers. However, the Bruins looked fairly lethargic on Thursday, losing to the San Jose Sharks 2-1. Aside from the one flukey goal from Zdeno Chara, the team was not impressive. Firing only 17 shots on goal, the Bruins lacked the tenacity seen by them in their prime. The Bruins will be a contender this year, but games like these need to be abolished from their repertoire.
1) Playoffs? You Kidding Me?
On April 8th, the NHL season will end. At the end, there will be many teams that were on the cusp of the playoffs, and just missed. Two of those teams, Colorado and Winnipeg, might not make it to the big dance, but exceeded expectations and gave an honest effort if they don't squeak in. However, if the Calgary Flames don't make the playoffs, they'll have nobody to blame but themselves. Culminating with a shootout loss against the Wild, Calgary only gained 3 of 8 points against the Coyotes, 30th place Oilers, 29th place Blue Jackets, and 27th place Wild. Had they gotten 3 more points during that time, they'd be in the top 8 in the West. Against the Wild tonight, which was a must win game, the team proved that they don't have anybody to blame but themselves.

Quick cheeze sauce
Fat Free Vegan ) added some salsa. Without the added sweetness, my sauce was overwhelmed by the mustard. In frustration I added more lemon juice and some liquid smoke. Then I flung the sauce in the fridge. The next day, when I reluctantly used the sauce, I was pleasantly surprised.
Previously on Green Gourmet Giraffe:

Two years ago: Nachos, Scramble and Cheeze
Three years ago: Silverbeet Soup and Marmalade Muffins
Four years ago: Sticky toffee pudding - my kind of healthy!
Quick cheeze sauce
Adapted from Fat Free Vegan
serves 4
1/2 cup water
100g silken tofu (or 1/2 cup milk)
1/3 cup nutritional yeast
juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons cornflour (cornstarch)
1 tablespoon tahini
1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard (less next time)
1/4 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
Place ingredients in a small saucepan and blend. (If you used milk rather than silken tofu you could probably get away with a good stir rather than blending.) Simmer for a couple of minutes until the mixture thickens. Or (as I did) microwave for about 2 1/2 minutes, stirring after each of the first two minutes.

This sounds really good, I do love a great cheeze nacho style sauce, I really like nutritional yeast, even though Ed says it loks like fish food!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Helen - I am quite fond of a cheeze sauce - I like that they are usually not as heavy as dairy cheese sauces - I can see where Ed is coming from - but surely fish food doesn't taste that good :-)Delete
I'm always intrigued by cheeze sauces especially as someone who eats regular cheese! I'm always on the lookout for one that's super tasty. This one sounds great!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Joanne - I eat regular cheese and wouldn't claim these taste exactly like it but I think it is like vegetarian 'meat' - it fills a certain need that is not for cheese but for some of the elements of itDelete
I love trying different cheeze sauce recipes, lately I've been enjoying ones that include a bit a spice so they are more like a nacho cheeze sauce. Sometimes they can take a bit of playing around with to suit your personal taste, I enjoy mustard flavours in them every now and then.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Mel - I think I quite like some smokiness in my cheeze sauces - no surprises there :-) I quite like mustard but can find it overwhelming - have another cheeze to share where I also found the mustard a bit muchDelete
I think your quesadillas look wonderful and I'm sure that with salsa they'd be as tasty as they look. Being me, I'd probably have mine with the salsa and without the cheeze, but I appreciate that would rather defeat the point :PReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Kari - unfortunately the quesadillas were prettier than they were yummy - I might have added salsa but never have any pre-made on hand and it seemed too much trouble to make someDelete

For Lyme Disease
3 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Radiant-Health From New Hampshire on Sep 04, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
Overall a very well made and effective product. It absorbs quickly and is easy to take as the capsule size is quite small. In the case of Lyme disease, as per Stephen Buhner, Japanese knotweed is essential to healing the illness. Taking knotweed in this case is used for a multitude of purposes that include its anti-microbial activity, neuro-protective qualities, circulation stimulation and anti-inflammatory effects, and for reducing the toxic damage in general caused by the spirochetes. Taking between 2 and 4 of these capsules, depending on body weight, per day before meals is usually best as each capsule provides 2 grams of knotweed in total. Also, since Japanese knotweed is anti-microbial it will cause die-off and the Herxheimer reaction so a gradual increase in dosage may be necessary. ***Feel free to visit my page for my other reviews on Lyme disease related products***
So far so good. Been taking for a few weeks now.

A good product that goes a long way at a very good price. Bearing in mind that effects from Resveratrol are mostly long term, don't expect instant miracles. Has a nice stabilising effect on weight in the short term, though.
No extra fillers.

"So the flannel shirt deal-is that a nod to the crispy Seattle weather, or are you just trying to stay warm in front of the refrigerator?" Most movie buffs and fashion fans, of course, can instantly ID this line from Clueless, in which Cher Horowitz pokes fun at stepbrother Josh's lumberjack-turned-hipster style sense. But while the humble plaid button-up may have carried grungy connotations back in the '90s, it's undoubtedly one of this season's must-have buys. In fact, it's near-impossible to scroll through our favorite style blogs or flip through a magazine without spotting a celebrity or model in a checked flannel these days.
Despite its obvious popularity, however, the plaid shirt can be surprisingly tricky to style. But fear not-I'm here to help you out. Click through above to see one of my favorite plaid tops, Rails' Kendra button-up ($128, railsclothing.com), styled into a whopping 10 different looks-some work-appropriate, others tailor-made for the weekend.

Thank you, Carey Price, for finally wearing out Guy Carbonneau's already paper-thin patience. Your month-long meltdown made last Friday's game between Montreal and Colorado the most exciting scouting experience I've had as co-host of Avalanche PostGame (KCKK 1510 AM) this season. That's because Montreal turned to Jaroslav Halak, which ended my year-long wait of wanting to see one of the league's premier goalie prospects in some real-life action.
With vigorous enthusiasm and anticipation, I arrived at Pepsi Center and quickly glided into the press box, where my reserved seat was anxiously waiting. It's the ultimate spot to scout the opposing goaltender, as it sits directly along the visiting goal line to the right of the cage. Of course I'm there to cover the Avalanche, but I'd be a downright lying fool if I didn't fess up to the fact that I'm also scouting the goalies.
Adding to the excitement of this Friday night delight was the historical atmosphere surrounding the goaltending matchup. Colorado announced that Peter Budaj would start his 41st start of the season, making it the first time in NHL history that two Slovak goalies played in the same game. And since I know you're wondering, there have only been two other goalies from Slovakia to play in the NHL, Rastislav Stana and Jan Lasak.
This transformed the game into something much more monumental than anyone could have imagined. In Slovakia, this was going to be beyond huge. As I continued to prepare for the game, it just so happens that my Slovakian friend Peter was also in attendance. He covers the NHL for a Slovakian newspaper and spoke proudly of the game's importance from his country's viewpoint. He also promised to relay some post-game thoughts from both goalies in their native tongue, since I was going to be stuck in the studio. So all my ducks were in order and the duel between Budaj and Halak was a perfect sub-plot for me to follow.
From the drop of the puck, scoring chances came at a fast and furious pace. Montreal was caught running around all night, turning it over behind their net more than a few times and giving Colorado tons of great scoring opportunities. But Halak absolutely stood on his head, enduring 35 shots in the final 40 minutes to help the Canadians defeat the Avalanche by a final score of 4-2. Even though Colorado completely dominated the entire game in every single category and aspect of the game, they failed in the one's that matter most - goaltending and goals.
In the first period, Halak made a number of technically proficient and poised saves, including a pair of full-fledged breakaways en route to helping the Canadians take a 2-0 lead. In the second period, Colorado turned on the jets and reached another gear, out-shooting Montreal by a 16-4 margin. But Halak only allowed Jordan Leopold to score on a play in which his defensemen did not give him much help, but one where he did allow a rebound from a bad angle.
In the third period, Halak downright stole the show. He made 18 more stalwart and scintillating saves, including some momentum-changing stops when the score was tied 2-2. Those saves lifted the bench and gave Montreal a chance to grind their way to a 3-2 lead, which came late in the game thanks to a breakaway goal by Andre Kostitsyn. Thirty-five saves in the final two periods on 37 shots. That's enough work through 60 minutes to be considered a busy game, let alone having to handle that workload in 40 minutes.
What Halak showed me in this game was something much more valuable than good positioning; it was a combination of raw talent and strong mental toughness. He allowed a weak Tyler Arnason shot to squeeze underneath him, tying the game 2-2 halfway through the third period. But his big-save ability and durability to handle the workload along with the pressure of playing in a monumental game was amazing – he really looked like a 12-year veteran out there.
Halak proved not only to the organization that he's looking more and more like an elite #1 goalie in this game, but he was the sole reason Montreal finally stopped the bleeding, as they had lost seven straight games on the road and things were on the verge of spiraling out of control. He also proved to Slovakia that he should be the starting goalie in the 2010 Olympics over Budaj. Simply put, Halak is on the attack and there may be no stopping him next season.
Friday's win is the kind of game that takes on a greater importance as the season goes along and can push a young goalie's game to the next level. It could be seen as one of those career-changing games that come along once in a big blue moon, especially when you look at Halak's mediocre numbers. But with a flair and big-save ability that whets my scouting appetite, I can easily say he's a certified choice for any fantasy keeper league.
My friend Peter relayed some pretty interesting post-game comments from both Budaj and Halak. It looks like they were both not only fully aware of the historic setting and the implications it would have on the Olympics, but they also honored and respected each other in a competitive manner. They were both pushing for OT in the hopes of a shootout, but Halak came out of it as the well-deserved winner in regulation.
Now Halak did come back down to earth in last night's 4-2 loss to Vancouver, but he still made numerous saves to start the game and in the second period when the score was still close. Regardless of being pulled in the third, which was mainly done to give Price the chance to play in front of over 100 friends and family, there's a very healthy competition (not controversy) in Montreal. Halak's display of wizardry in the last two games proves that he's going to continue getting better and better. So if you're in a keeper league, I would snag him at a low price while you can.
Again I would like to stress how I feel Halak's development is kind of similar to that of Finnish and other European goalies. They need a few years to adjust, but once they do, it's almost revolutionary what they display when they are at the top of their game. Halak is a brilliant netminder with very powerful movements and strong, squared positioning. He's not the biggest guy in the crease, but it's not easy to push him around either.
True, he won't have great statistics this year and may not be the best fit for a one-year fantasy team next year, but remember that mental toughness is the X-factor in separating good goalies from the great ones, and Halak has it all. So while his stats are mediocre at best, he still has the ingredients to become a true #1 for a very long time. He is only owned in 6% of Yahoo leagues, but he's certified to be a premier starter in as little as two seasons and could take over the starting job in Montreal if Price continues to struggle.

One of the more interesting games coming out of the indie game scene is Anomaly which takes the tower defense in a completely new direction. Intrigued by what we saw we nagged their PR rep until we got an interview. He finally relented and here are the answers to the questions we sent in.
Could you introduce yourself and talk about your role on the project? What's the history behind 11bit studios and how did you get started?
Hey, I'm Pawel Miechowski and on a daily basis at 11 bit studios I work on story, script, dialogues, translations and all the stuff related to writing. I also work with actors recording voice-overs to our game. But we're small team, of 12 people now, so we wear different hats, thus I also take care things like doing the game's blog, tweeting and writing on Facebook, and presenting the title to gaming media. So the story behind 11 bit studios is pretty simple. The four studio founders and I have been in the gaming industry more or less since the mid 90s. Working at Metropolis and CD Projekt later, we were doing retail games for publishers, until one of our gamedev beer sessions resulted in a strong will for an indie studio. And this way in December 2009 11 bit studios was born. Tech director – Bartosz – started to build the engine then and by April 2010 the engine was efficient enough to start production of the game.
Not to rip off Joystiq's behind the name feature but what's the history behind the name of the company?
Bits are always even 4-bit, 8-bit etc. so matching bit with unpaired number of 11 is to point out the unusual approach we have. And by that I mean we want to do unusual concepts, mix some genres, experiment with gameplay.
What led to the concept of a "reverse tower defense" game? What were the biggest hurdles in developing a game in what is arguably one of today's most crowded genres?
Being great fans of TD games, naming the fine Defense Grid here, or strategy games in general, we wanted to twist something. Michal, our lead designer, came up with the idea of being the opposite side in tower defense. The concept was catchy and we started simply developing it. The biggest hurdles? Well, actually it's the innovation in the genre. What the hell is reversed tower defense? OK, you are the "enemies" wave, but what do you do then? There are some cool flash games when you do the tower attack, but it's just sending the waves over and over. So we added the on-field commander and equipped him with so-called combat suit abilities. Then we add the tactical map where you actually create the wave's route and can re-plan whenever needed. And then we decided that each armor unit in the wave needed to have different function – thanks to this there's another tactical layer – the squad management. So the biggest hurdle to jump over was to introduce that innovation. Not only in communication to gamers, but simply even in the tutorial – some players obviously got the idea quickly, but some needed detailed tutorial missions.
What sort of differences can be expected between the PC/Mac versions and the iOs iterations? Any chance an Android version is on the way?
The really important difference overall is that the iOS version does not have the on-field commander; you just tap the screen to deploy an ability instead of walking with the commander to a designated place. The core mechanics and idea stays the same, and actually it fits touch-screen gaming perfectly. I mean, you do the tactical job and have fun of demolishing enemies, but you just do it in a simpler way compared to the PC. That said, the missions we develop are also adjusted to that philosophy. And there are more levels, but they're smaller because iPad gamers prefer shorter playing sessions.
Which interface, touch or controller, do you feel suits your game more? Which version of the game was harder to make?
Hehe, we didn't finalize the iOS version yet, so I guess that one's been harder to make. Anyway, it's a tough question. I love playing games on iPad a lot, so personally I think touch screen interface suits it more. It's pretty intuitive and easy to get into. Apart from Anomaly, any game I play on iPad, even if it introduces some hell of an innovative concept, must have an intuitive and friendly interface, because this is the only way to get familiar with some original concept.
The app/indie market is extraordinarily crowded, what has been the most important thing you've done to get your game noticed?
I can't really point out one thing, and I think the game was just noticed by a small part of the gaming world that is interested in indie games. It is crowded indeed and there's a plenty of work for us to do to get it noticed widely. I hope it's worthy. So we're trying to respond to community whenever there's time for it (personally, that's my favourite part of the gamedev job). We're talking to media figures if they're interested in reviewing. We're simply working a lot on a game itself. We're doing videos to promote it on Youtube and similar channels. And we're constantly learning how to do such things, honestly. Our PR guy Tom from Evolve PR is totally engaged and helpful on those things, so he's also one hell of a teacher :)
There's a belief among some people in the industry that the game market is starting to polarize into two camps. The small/indie games/app games and the triple AAA, super big budget games. What's your take on this thought? Is 11 bit always going to be about making smaller games or do you see a time where you create bigger games?
I share this belief. So on one hand there are some AAA games that have put the level of development so high, they're so incredibly polished that even $20-million-budget games are not able to compete with them and fail. In such situation, a gamer that pays $50 expects that level of polish from each game of that price. That leads to a situation where only a few big-budget studios are able to deliver such games, and they vacuum all the air from the $50-game space. On the other hand there are indie games that offer old-school fun, innovation or a wacky story, and they're usually below $10. Paying $10, the player expects a lot of fun but accepts some flaws – OK, it's a pretty cheap game, but still bloody entertaining. I don't know if there's a way to fill the space between those two camps with something. But it's just speculation anyway; the market has surprised me too many times.
The game is now available, do you have any tips or tricks for people who pick the game up this week? Are there any Easter Eggs or hidden things that people should be on the look out for?
Sure, I'd say – when playing Anomaly Warzone Earth please experiment with the squad management – buy new units when available and re-form the squad during battles, especially when deploying the commander's abilities. It really pushes the efficiency up :)
We'd like to thank Pawel for answering our questions as well as Tom for helping to set the interview up.

I am having some trouble on running Snow Leopard in my AMD machine (specs below). When i boot up, everything goes ok, it shows up my desktop. But right after that i can't interact with GUI for like 5 minutes, but i can still move the mouse cursor. After that, the system works flawlessly. You see that is not exactly a boot problem, and at this time that the mouse/keyboard does not respond, the system seem to be working fine (if i stick a USB drive it recognizes it on the go, and sometimes Apple Updater shows up).
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the SL version, since this problem shows up since 10.6
I have tried Retail install and Snow Hazard, the problem was there both times. Can anybody help me with this?
My Specs are:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 9600 Black Edition (AM2+)
Motherboard: Foxconn M61PMV**
Chipset: nVidia nForce MCP61
Graphics: nVidia GeForce 9800GT - 512 MB - GDDR3
** i have seen the same problem on people who has the same MoBo that i do

Okay ladies, the first thing I felt when I read this, was that it was somehow Alina...not barrons. Don't know why, before I didn't think the beast was either of them. I don't know how far Mac feels for Barrons, attraction, lust; yes, love? I don't this so, not yet. This person who is before her is tearing out her soul, the worst pain, you have to love someone to have the feeling come out.
Plus, Karen puts in some backstory. I wish my biological mother would have drowned me at birth? Why? Because her mother knew what they both were, what Alina could became, and what Mac has yet to find??? I think that's huge, in accusing her mother, when in the last book she wanted to find out as much as she could about her past....maybe she found out something she finally couldn't handle.
She says something like why did they let me grow up pink and pretty(not sure exactly), if she knows what Alina is(the beast) then she can guess that is what she is, or will be as well. The beast is nothing pink and pretty, and she never should have been given the opportunity to go that route...
All I know, is that I am screaming on the inside, and need more! Thank you Karen for an awesome halloween gift!

As of Friday, January 4, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- Some Newton County School System staff members already are preparing for a new type of national test for students in the coming years.
Recently, several NCSS personnel attended a special session at the Griffin Regional Educational Service Agency regarding the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC assessments. The new tests are expected to be administered to students beginning in the 2014-15 school year.
NCSS Superintendent Gary Mathews said that 24 states, including Georgia, are members of a consortium that will develop new common core assessments for part of the nation; 22 other states are part of another consortium called SMARTER Balance that will develop its own common core assessments.
Each consortium will be able to compare individual classroom, school, district and state results with other consortium members in the 20-something states "on an apples to apples basis for the first time in history," Mathews wrote in his End-of-Month Notes sent to staff and other educational stakeholders at the end of December. He said this is different from the No Child Left Behind assessments, which were different for all 50 states.
"As far as PARCC is concerned, while there are generally less topics per grade, there is a greater depth of consideration," Mathews said. "Additionally, as we are finding out in NCSS, there has been a rather dramatic shifting of content downwards -- what was once taught in a particular grade is now taught in a lower grade, at times more than one grade level down. Rigor in the common core is certainly evident -- more difficult, not more stuff."
In English language arts/literacy, assessment advances include sequences of questions that draw students into deeper encounters with texts, rather than sets of random questions of varying quality. In math, instead of a random sampling of a wide array of topics, they will have a stronger focus where the standards focus, Mathews said.
He added that most of the assessments will require the use of technology.
"It is truly the digital age with a digital generation of students we are teaching," Mathews said. "PARCC plans to acknowledge this with the new assessment system."
